Take Control of Your Bone Health with NTx Testing
Are you worried about osteoporosis or experiencing unexplained bone pain? Many South Africans face bone health concerns without realizing the importance of early detection. Our NTx Bone Health Assessment offers you peace of mind through advanced urine testing that detects bone loss markers before traditional methods can. We understand the anxiety that comes with bone health uncertainty, which is why we’ve made this crucial test accessible and affordable across South Africa.
Understanding Your NTx Bone Health Test
The NTx test measures specific markers called collagen cross-linked N-telopeptides in your urine. Think of these markers as “bone breakdown signals” – when your bones are losing density faster than they’re rebuilding, these signals increase. Unlike traditional bone density scans that show damage after it’s occurred, the NTx test provides early warning signs, giving you the opportunity to take preventive action before serious bone loss develops.
Our testing process is simple and non-invasive. We only require a second morning urine sample, which our expert team analyzes using advanced chemiluminescence technology to ensure the highest accuracy and reliability.
Who Should Consider This Bone Health Assessment?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained bone pain or frequent fractures
- Family history of osteoporosis or bone disorders
- Post-menopausal symptoms affecting bone density
- Long-term steroid medication use
- Thyroid or parathyroid conditions
- Concerns about age-related bone loss
- Monitoring treatment effectiveness for bone conditions
Many patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have discovered early bone health issues through this test, allowing them to take proactive steps toward stronger bones.

- Peace of Mind: Know your bone health status and reduce anxiety about unknown risks
